Low temperature thermostat for 2L-T part number?

Post by Smurf »

Does anyone have the toyota part number for a low temperature thermostat for a 2L-T or 2L-TE
I have got an 82 degree one from toyota (90916 03120) but it is a wider diameter.
I have come up with two part numbers from the net but just wanted to confirm.
10340 - 54040, 82 degrees
90916 - 03079, 82 degrees but has a larger opening than the one above apparently

i run the 88c/89c hiflow one and its never gone over 100c.
tried 82c but it run to cold, heater barely worked. if the 88c one doesn't work then you have problems else where.

Cheers for that Tweake,
Search didn't bring up your post.
Current 88 degree one works fine, just replacing with new rad cap and thermo so thought I would try out a lower temp one and see how it went.
I was hoping to get a Toyota replacement one especially if one has a larger opening, which in theory will allow better flow.

the 82c toyota one has the same size opening. also i think toyota temp rating is starting to open temp not fully opened temp.
i didn't have temp gauge setup when i had stock thermostat in but the heater ran far hotter than what it does now with 88c hiflow.

the downside to the toyota ones is they are slower to open. so if engine heats up very fast it can overheat before the thermostat has opened enough to flow cooled water in. thats the advantage of the hiflow thermostats.

i would go with 88c hiflow. hiflow ones have bigger opening.
